Problem with array challenge in PHP

I'm not sure what I should do with this challenge . I'm looking for help to solve this challenge.

In the code below, we have a simple array of contact names. We want to use the $contacts array to fill in the hard-coded list of names an email addresses. To hold the email as well as the name for each contact, we need a multidimensional array, meaning each person in the contact list will have their own array. The first step is to make each person their own single item ASSOCIATIVE array, using 'name' as the key for these internal arrays.

the code is

<?php //edit this array $contacts = array('Alena Holligan', 'Dave McFarland', 'Treasure Porth', 'Andrew Chalkley');

echo "<ul>\n"; //$contacts[0] will return 'Alena Holligan' in our simple array of names. echo "<li>Alena Holligan : alena.holligan@teamtreehouse.com</li>\n"; echo "<li>Dave McFarland : dave.mcfarland@teamtreehouse.com</li>\n"; echo "<li>Treasure Porth : treasure.porth@teamtreehouse.com</li>\n"; echo "<li>Andrew Chalkley : andrew.chalkley@teamtreehouse.com</li>\n"; echo "</ul>\n";

And I added this $contacts[0]=array('Alena'=>'Alena Holligan'); $contacts[1]=array('Dave'=>'Dave McFarland'); $contacts[2]=array('Treasure'=>'Treasure Porth'); $contacts[3]=array('Andrew'=>'Andrew Chalkley');

$contacts[] = [ 'name' => 'Alena Holligan' ]; $contacts[] = [ 'name'=> 'Dave McFarland' ]; $contacts[] = [ 'name' => 'Treasure Porth' ]; $contacts[] = [ 'name' => 'Andrew Chalkley' ];
